Thank you for making this wonderful video! We struggled for a whole week to get our 12-week-old puppy to calm down in his crate. He would whine non-stop before freaking out and resorting to barks and making a mess of his crate. After several sleepless nights in a row, we were at our wits end. Then, looking for some guidance, I came across this video. I followed the instructions to a "T." MAGIC! The first 30 minutes were iffy, but by the end of the first hour, I could already see a difference. We worked on this on-and-off throughout the day. By bedtime, we were nervous. Our pup whimpered quietly once or twice, but otherwise remained calm and quiet. He slept through the night, only waking us up to let us know he needed to be let outside twice. It was nothing short of miraculous. He's remained calm in his crate for a couple consecutive nights. Thank you for teaching us how to be better doggy parents!

Did these techniques 1 hour a day with my 8 week old berner/pyraneese cross And IT WORKS!!!! First night we got him was brutal. After finding this video, doing 1 hour a day past 3 days, we get to sleep on our schedule to take him out with minimal crying every night so far. Start slow, baby steps. Make the crate comfortable and getting him to go in on his own (other videos show this) and don’t close the door right away, he knows he can go in and out and lots of treats+clicker+praises. And we feed him his foods in it. Then start closes and “quiet” like this video and build from there! Good luck folks!

Here are some things that worked overnight for me. My puppy whined or barked for an average of about 10 minutes every night before bed for about a month. I’m not saying it’s going to work for everyone but this helped my puppy go to his crate on command. My girlfriend and I are busy people and can’t always come home throughout the day, sometimes not being able to let him out for 6 hours at a time (I guess it wasn’t straight to the kennel, he has his kennel open in a small pen.) The first thing I’d do when I got home from work or wake up was get myself all situated. Id put my keys away, get changed, and hang out for about 5 minutes. If he wasn’t whining or scratching at the gate, then I’d let him out. The next thing I’d do is just hang out and sit next to his crate to try and show him that it’s okay to be in here and it’s not punishment and that it’s HIS area/room. Every time he’d go in his crate by himself, I would reward him with positive encouragement and some treats. After that, I’d bring his bed out of his kennel and bring it into the living room. I thought of it as a way of showing him that it’s his place to sleep and relax since we don’t let him on the couch yet. The last thing I’d do which I think he enjoyed the most was his stuffed kong toy. When it was time for bed, I would shut off all the lights and just hang out, for about 10 minutes giving him the hint it’s time for bed. I would get some of his kibble, treats, fill it with a little beef broth and water, and freeze it. I think he viewed it as a treat and it kept him busy when it was time for us to go to sleep. As many of you have seen here or in other videos, it’s crucial that you don’t acknowledge or give in when they are barking and whining. It’s also important to give them your attention and wear them out before you put them away. At the end of the day, they are still puppies and adjusting to a new environment. I hope this helps!

Or if she’s super anxious she also has to bite onto something and hold it till her whining episode is over if I don’t approach the crate with a toy she bites onto my shirt and won’t let go

I have had my toy poodle a week he is 9 weeks now.. I didn't have a crate when we got him but I have a pen which I put a lovely comfy bed in.. during the day he will not sleep in the bed, howls and screams like his skin is being peeled off.. I go back so many times to reassure and give treats with him on the bed but he eventually falls asleep in the pen, not on the bed and even then he isn't asleep deeply as any sound and he is howling again.. today I started using the crate as a game as other videos showed and I can't imagine how long jts going to take to get him to actually stay in there without damaging his teeth on the metal.. I haven't tried to close the door yet but I can imagine that's what he will do.. he gets so tired too and extremely bitey at that stage.. if he isn't in the pen for a sleep/howl he follows me around and if I stand still he curls up on my feet.. I imagine he is suffering separation anxiety and I so want to get him calm and enjoying his sleep time but my levels of anxiety are getting high too now!

I have a question: MCCanns videos all suggest that you should keep your pup in the crate when you are not training. One of the reasons we are getting a pup is also emotional support; to chill with him, cuddle with him and play, how is this possible when it needs to be in the crate all the time? I really appreciate all the videos you guys are sharing, great information and tips on raising a dog!

@jackthefunshack8618 9 ай бұрын

I would use the crate then for sleeping. When your puppy naps its a great time to let them feel the comfort of the crate while napping. Yes I KNOW you want to pet and cuddle the sleeper, but you can continue that after you teach "comfort/sleeping" crate training. When your pup goes to the crate themselves (You leave the door open) when they want to relax/nap you know you have done it right. Crate training is over.
